He's My Killer

Chapter Forty-Three

"Take off your pants."

"Why?" I queried, biting my lip. I knew why but I just wanted to hear him say it.

He stared at me for a moment before removing his arms from my waist and to the buttons of my pants.

It was still pouring down heavily but he didn't seem to care.

My hair clung to skin as I looked down at his hands. He began to pull my pants down by the sides and my hands shouted out to grab his hands.

I know he didn't think he was going to do what I think he's doing. Especially not out here.

"What are you doing?" I questioned.

"Just Take off your pants, Tiana."

"I'm not doing any freaky deaky stuff out here with you. I mean, I don't mind doing anything spontaneous outdoors but not in a fvcking alley. I respect myself very much to do some stuff like that." I admitted.

Then I realized what I just admitted.

Suddenly he smirked.

"Duly noted, Babe."

I gulped hard and shamefully looked down. Why would I say that? Dammit, Tia.

I sighed. "You're not going to do anything bad, are you?" I queried worriedly.

"No. Now take off your pants." He said with an amused tone.

I slid off my pants and slipped out my shoes and completely took off my pants. I was in nothing but a tank and my black panties. I pushed my wet hair back before bending down to grab my soaked jeans.

Carter took the jeans from my hand as I put on my shoes.

"Stay here until I come back."

I instantly frowned. "What? Where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll be back." He turned on his heels and started walking.

"Carter! I can't be outside like this. What if someone sees me!" I say worriedly as the rain begins to lighten up.

"Consider it your punishment, baby. It's well deserved for kneeing me in my dîck."

I gasped. "It was deserved for you. If you would leave me out of your work and let me live my life, I wouldn't have kneeled you." I yelled as I walked with him but stopped at a certain point. I did not want to get caught in my underwear and tank.

"Whatever, Babe." And that was the last thing he said before turning the corner.

"Oh my god." I whispered shockingly.

Did he not know I could get sick? Damn Bastard.

And how is it that he lets me kiss him and he kisses me back, leaving me to think we'd do something else. I actually wanted to forget what happened today.

Forget that my brother, the one that protected me killed my parents for his own good.

I sighed then a smile appeared on my face. I will admit, Carter had me. I just hoped no one comes past or down here.

I looked ahead and saw a car pull into the alleyway.

My luck! Where's my luck!

My body shook as I stood there covering my lower half by pulling down on my shirt. I couldn't really go nowhere.

I heard the window come down followed by a voice. "Get in the car, Tiana."

I released a breath of relief when it was just Carter.

I hurried to the car and got in the passenger seat. I should have known. Carter over her was having a fit of laughing.

"Everything's a fvcking game to you." I said irritably.

He placed his hand on my bare thigh, giving it a soft squeeze.

"To ensure your ass wouldn't run again. And that shît was sexy and funny."

I scoffed and brushed his hand off my thigh.

"Are we going back to the penthouse?" I queried, changing the subject.

"Nah. We are heading to a place of mine in Tampa." He responded as he backed out of the driveway.

"Tampa?"

"Tampa Florida."

Why is he going all the way to Florida? I didn't understand.

"How many places do you own?" I queried.

I was hoping to get a little bit of info out of him.

"Many in different departments." He answered as he backed out the alleyway and drove down the street.

"And what type of departments?"

He looked my way out the corner of his eye before paying his full attention on the road.

"Just know you're staying with me in a house down there."

I let go of that subject and went on to a different subject. "Will you ever let me go?" I asked and he opened his mouth but I said something quickly.

"Honest answer, Carter."

He was silent for a moment. "Eventually."

I sighed. "Do I have to change my hair again?"

"No. If you want you can. It's your hair."

"Obviously." I rolled my eyes.

Tampa, here we come.

"Dammit, Troy!" I swiped everything off my desk angrily.

This fool has made me look weak many times. False claim on ordering my men to shoot up a warehouse and now there is a witness I need to take care of.

"I gave you specific instructions." I exhaled heavily.

"He had Tiana—"

"She was fine with him. Your dumbass got caught on purpose, putting Monica and yourself in deeper shît. The hell were you thinking?!"

Troy sighed. "I guess I wasn't. Look, Tiana sees me as her protector and her role model in case you haven't noticed."

I chuckled. "That's what you think. I highly doubt she sees you as that, given your uncalled shoot out. I hear she was there tied up leaving her to do what?" I said with a raised brow.

He shut his eyes tightly. "Dammit. I wasn't thinking at the time. I tried to get to her but Carter got to her before I could."

I rolled my eyes. "Does it matter? You still put her in grave danger and that pissed me off."

"It was a mistake and it won't happen again."

"Make sure it doesn't." I say.

"But there's still a question that remains." Troy said.

"That is?"

"Why keep Tiana around for so long?"

"You really are blind, son." I commented before continuing. "Carter Maso is known for not having a heart but you can't deny the attraction between Tiana and Carter."

"Attraction. Tiana would never find someone like him as attractive."

I chuckled. Damn fool.

"Carter would find a girl like her attractive. Tiana's bold and she's a fighter."

Troy's frown deepened. "Right. After all those girls he killed, he chooses Tiana for his keep."

I sighed in irritation. "No, man. Now that he has a face to the name and he knows your brother, that makes her a key. You may not know it Troy but that man will be steps ahead in the game."

Troy was quiet for a moment. "What are we going to do?"

"First, I have to clean up the shît you caused today. Then we take our time to think this one through. You had already ruined plan one."

"What about—"

"Your sister is in good hands for now. We'll get her back. Babygirl will be surprised to see me." I smirked.
